Clip Indicator

[out4u]

So i know an easy way to detect clipping without using a dd-1 or oscope is to get a tweeter and hook a capacitor in series to filter low frequencies out. for instance a 4 ohm tweeter and 3.3 uf non polarised capacitor would filter out everything below roughly 12khz.  play a test tone below that point, turn the gain knob and when clipping occurs the tweeter will start to buzz due to a product of clipping is higher frequencies riding along the waveform. 

 

My question is say i hooked a capacitor and like a 100k ohm resistor in series with an led and hooked it to the amp, would that effectivly light the led when clipping occurs? led resistance varies, but say it was between 0-1k ohm so overall resistance was between 100k-101k ohm if i chose a capacitor value that would filter 22khz and down at 101k ohm would that light an led basically the same way as above when distortion occurs? just kind of brainstorming here.
